A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION
OF THE CITY OF DUBLIN
DENYING GEORGE HITES/DUBLIN CROWN CHEVROLET
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TO AMEND PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT PA 96-043
TO ALLOW AUTOMOBILE/VEHICLE STORAGE LOTS AND TO ESTABLISH AN
AUTOMOBILE/VEHICLE STORAGE LOT AT 6670 AMADOR PLAZA ROAD, PA 03-023
WHEREAS, the Applicant/Property Owner, George Hites, proposes a minor amendment to
Planned Development (PD) District PA 96-043 by means of a Conditional Use Permit pursuant to Section
8.32.080 of the Zoning Ordinance to allow automobile/vehicle storage lots subject to a Conditional Use
Permit and to establish an automobile storage lot for a five (5) year period for use by the Dublin Crown
Chevrolet dealership within a private parking lot located at 6670 Amador Plaza Road (APN 941-1500-
053); and
WHEREAS, the intent of the PD District is to promote office and commercial development
compatible with existing uses and existing development; and
WHEREAS, the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), together with the State
guidelines and City environmental regulations require that certain projects be reviewed for environmental
impact and that environmental documents be prepared; and
WHEREAS, the project has been found to be Categorically Exempt from the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), according to the CEQA Guidelines, Section 15303, as the project is
located on a previously developed, fully improved and paved property where no further improvements or
construction is necessary for the use; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission held a properly noticed public hearing on said application
on May 25, 2004; and
WHEREAS, the Staff report was submitted recommending that the Planning Commission
application be conditionally approved for a period of five (5) years; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did hear and consider all said reports, recommendations
and testimony herein above set forth and used its independent judgment to make a decision; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has found that the proposed project is not appropriate for
the subject site.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT THE Dublin Planning Commission does
hereby make the following findings and determinations regarding said proposed Conditional Use Permit:
mo
The proposed minor amendment does not substantially comply with and does materially
change the provisions or intent of the adopted Planned Development Zoning District
Ordinance for the site because the proposed use would be located in the parking lot of an
existing office development and the proposed use is not compatible with the existing office
park development as it is industrial in nature and not within the aesthetic character and
architectural theme of the surrounding buildings and landscaping.
Bo
The proposed use of the property as a temporary automobile/vehicle storage lot, under all
circumstances and conditions of this permit, will be injurious to property uses or
improvements in the neighborhood as the use is an automobile/vehicle storage yard for
overstocked vehicles and a proposed light industrial type of use within an office park
development.
Co
The subject site is not physically suitable for the type, density, and intensity of the use as
the surrounding uses are office development within an integrated office park setting.
The proposed use of the property as a temporary automobile/vehicle storage lot is not
consistent with the goals, intent or provisions of the West Dublin BART Specific Plan as
the land use designation for the site is Retail/Office.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT THE Dublin Planning Commission does hereby deny
PA 03-023, a Conditional Use Permit to amend the Planned Development District PD 96-043 to allow the
establishment of an automobile/vehicle storage lot subject to the Conditions of Approval of the
Conditional Use Permit, and to allow the operation of an automobile/vehicle storage lot for a five (5) year
period within an existing parking lot as generally depicted by the site plan, labeled Attachment 3.
PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED this 25th day of May 2004.
